I would also be interested in hearing  what the problem is with baking soda. I don't use it on my hair, but I use it for teeth ( whole family does) and as a facewash and I love the way it makes my skin feel .My 2 older dd's ( 23 & 19) also use it as face wash and love it.  I would also like to hear ideas for natural shampoo. I do use dr. bonners bar soap for younger kids but they are boys with very short hair so it works.

I've been "no poo" with my hair for about two years. The important thing is to keep your scalp moist. If the baking soda and/or ACV are drying it out, you might try double-checking what your ratio is of each, dissolved in water before applying to the head.

Here's a link for a way to make your own shampoo, that I really like.

I have found that olive oil, coconut oil and tea tree oil (diluted) is about all I need for skin care.  I keep a bottle of olive oil (poured into a bottle like stylists use when coloring hair) in the shower. After showering, I turn the water off and cover myself in olive oil before toweling dry. It really keeps my skin soft.

A few weeks ago I read that someone has been using honey and another ingredient for shampoo. Can't find it at this moment but am looking for it.

Help, please!

Thanks, Gitte
